Over 550 people from all corners of the industry will convene at the popular Brewery venue in Chiswell Street, London, for the MCV Industry Excellence Awards 2007.

Value for ticket buyers and sponsors is being extended, with an earlier kick-off time, big name entertainment, the debut of new categories, added feature areas and a greater level of audience participation.

“All will be revealed shortly, but the MCV Awards are going to be the best ever next year, building on their success over the previous four years,” said MCV publisher Stuart Dinsey.

“They reward the people whose efforts ensure that the UK is such a successful, vibrant games market.

“Whether you are in retail, sales or marketing, a store manager or a senior exec, the MCV Awards are your awards. They are about you, your team and your hard work.”

Over the next three months, MCV will decide the finalists. You can lobby for consideration until Friday February 16th.

The MCV Awards Judging Panel, numbering around 100, will decide the winners.
